Wet and Forget

[Toril]

I've used Spear and Jackson Spray and Leave and I got 2 bottles and a sprayer from Amazon for less than the price of Wet and Forget. Just make sure you buy spray and leave and not the patio cleaner (as it's not as good). I used it on my caravan, patio, fence, garden furniture etc and can't complain. I also used it on my mum's conservatory and it got rid of all the green stuff around the window joints. I'm sure wet and forget is good but it's a lot of cash and the active ingredients are probably the same in all products.

I used Spray and Leave when I couldn’t find a deal on Wet & Forget and I agree that it is good. However I only need to do mine once a year when I use W&F. I found that the Spray and Leave needed a top up later in the season. However, that might have been due to the weather that year so, if I run out of W&F and can’t find a deal, I would buy the Spear & Jackson one again.

Has anyone tried Jeyes Fluid, my neighbour used to use it on her tarmac drive, and mine needs treating now, I have lots of green stuff on it?

I’ve just found this about Jeyes Fluid but it doesn’t mention algae. I guess it might work on algae though as it’s an organism assuming that the “green stuff” you mentioned is algae.

Fluid is a brand of disinfectant fluid for external use only. It is predominantly used for removing bacteria, while gardeners have found it effective at cleaning paths, patios, greenhouses, driveways, and drains - particularly of moss. With cautious use, it can also remove weeds.

Never tried Jeyes fluid for that, just for disinfecting garden pots or drains, problem is the smell.

Patio Magic. Have used that myself, takes a good few weeks to make a noticeable impact.

Unable to compare with wet and forget as I have never tried that.

As soon as it dries it starts to work. Then everytime it rains it removes the green algae and eventually the black spots

Agree, I find it works really quickly, a few dry days and it's gone!

Sorry, the title of this thread makes me remember once in city centre Boots standing in an aisle. A woman next to me just peed on the floor and walked away! I did a WTF!! An assistance rushed over and admitted it happened quite a bit. Oh, she was standing up, and Boots did have toilets. So she really did wet and go.
